That pretty good price, If you do photos more then you will definitely feel the difference in noise and latitude with a modern FF sensor. Having said that, I just bought a gh5s for dirt cheap price as bcam to s1, seems like after most manufacturer released FF camera the pricing is going down faster than I participated for both new and used camera. I sold my a7iii for quite a big loss as part of that collateral damage argh.

New firmware coming soon, improved IS and AF performance

Can't wait to see your video! I wonder is there anyone gonna do GH5/EM-1 II video af comparison

IBIS is always floating

Em1ii with 10-25mm 1.7 will be a dream combo for handheld shooter Hopefully Panasonic can see the error (or snub) in their judgement someday.

NZ also offer free vlog for S1 users, pretty sure Oz should be same?

oh lol Got S1 and G7, but i m thinking getting G95 for 10-25mm, and sell S1 & R to get S1H Well said, after coming from A7III to S1 the AF is acceptable for me, the new linear focus options is really great for manual focus, Sony one is just pain the ass unless you got expensive GM lens for MF.

Yeah, use it on my Panasonic MFT camera

OK I m seriously thinking gonna dump the whole EOS-R and RF lens for this.. going full Panasonic and that 10-25 too.

Shipping out in July, much faster than I anticipated

at $1799 its definitely much more tempting

My china made S1 feel much better quality than my made in Japan R, it's all depend on the product tier I guess? I think my next car will probably Chinese made electric car, both Korean and Japanese electric car cost way too much! Almost same price as Tesla model 3.

I think L-Mount is probably the future for Panasonic, as competitors offering FF sensor option on their cinema bodies they definitely don't want to be left behind. Consider Leica also make Cinema lens so its more sense to have complete body and lens package for the eco-system.

On the Sony A7III group there is been a running joke on renaming the group to Tamron 28-75 instead. That speak about the popularity of that lens.

I got my R for way cheaper than that 2 months, thanks to Canon in Oz been generous with $1 R auctions (they stopped when RP comes out), though my one wasn't the lowest amount among the past winners but so far I am pretty happy with the camera overall, video look more natural than M50.

lol sounds like you are on to it ?

Get S1, video is just sharper and less noise than R in HD and 4K, and matches well with Gh5s, I bought R so I can match c200 better. Its really depend on what ecosystem you have, if you have a canon camera then I would recommend R as well.

Yeah I guess we might have to wait for Chinese to have a crack at it..

That is true, the size and weight do put off some people who want small n lighter load. But I guess for the heat and mostly IBIS it does need space to be effective.

Pretty sure that was A7RII that do FF 4K

On dpreview it is confirmed T/CL doesn’t work from early Japanese user Haha thanks! Yeah my friend is much stronger than me ? Anyway that a7iii has gone to happy new owner, I do enjoy it while I own it but just the eco-system I have atm is better with Canon and Panasonic.

I didn’t say that, I only say Canon and Sony can get focus hunt/lost focus as well Not being defensive just sick of people thinking mirrorless have to be small and fragile, for pro work I want them to be tough and able to stand abuse for field work. I am looking at it as pure workhorse and nothing else. I use R/Leica T for casual photography and G1xiii for travel, though R is also used as bcam for c200.

Yes, image stabiliser works too! I use them a lot as I work full time in video production, that speaking from my experience since I have huge sample size not just shooting once in a blue moon. Obvious S1 is not targeted to you, there are many tools out there to suit your needs, I just buy whatever fits my need. Compare to c200 it is much lighter, I’ve done c200 handleheld for half day, so S1 weight is totally fine for me.
